Ping'an asked in bewilderment:
"Why would he do this?"
Old Daoist Huang answered instinctively:
"To humiliate us."
Ping'an knitted his brows and said:
"You mean they want to use this opportunity to humiliate Eldest Brother Taiping and us?"
Old Daoist Huang nodded.
"That's the only explanation."
In his view, apart from humiliating them and Xu Taiping, Heavenly Lord Cangwu and the others gained nothing by doing this.
Ghost King Qin Ming also frowned at this point.
"Making such a huge commotion just to humiliate you? Could Heavenly Lord Cangwu have suffered cultivation deviation?"
Just as he said this, the image in the Spirit Mirror suddenly changed.
In the somewhat blurry image, a young cultivator was hacking at a mountain of corpses before him with a long saber.
"Boom!"
As the stone mountain collapsed, the five-colored halo unique to peerless-grade Soulfire Stones suddenly burst from the cut in the mountain.
While Ping'an and the others stared in horror, the cultivator's figure in the image, originally no more than a tiny speck, began to grow larger.
Until the cultivator's face could be seen clearly.
After a brief moment of confusion, the expressions on Ping'an's and Old Daoist Huang's faces suddenly turned to horror in unison.
Then Ping'an cried out in alarm:
"Why is this showing Eldest Brother taking the Soulfire Stone from the ruins?!"
Old Daoist Huang said anxiously:
"This is very bad."
He knew full well that once the cultivation world learned of this image, Xu Taiping would face endless pursuit.
And events unfolded exactly as the two had expected.
After seeing this image, the cultivators before their Spirit Mirrors erupted, shouting incessantly through the mirrors to ask where Xu Taiping was at that moment.
But before the two could recover, Heavenly Lord Cangwu's voice suddenly came from the Spirit Mirror:
